1958 BMW 507 Serie-2 #217
The reconstruction
This particular 507 is truly exceptional, having been well-maintained and preserved by its enthusiastic owners over the course of 54 years. Its character and patina showed the result of decades of adoration and use before our two year long accurate restoration process. Finding an example that is this well-preserved and retains its original engine, restored to highest level is virtually unheard of. During the two-year restoration period the entire car was rebuilt, fitted and surfaced by our precision.
Please take a look at the restoration documentation at the bottom of the page.
While it was intended to be more attainable, the BMW 507 boasted a retail price of over $11,000, nearly double its target price, which made it a car that only few could afford. As such, the 507 attracted many well-to-do and famous owners, including motorsports icon John Surtees and even Elvis Presley. Only 252 examples, including both series, were made before production ceased in 1959.
